Default Can a small cat kill a rabbit?

I saw a small cat dragging a big rabbit. Is it possible that a cat like that can kill a rabbit of that size, or did the cat most likely just happen upon a dead rabbit and drag it home?

Cats are unlikely to drag around dead animals they find, they mostly like to kill things. I'd say it's possible but that cat has brass ones.

You might've mistaken the cat for a tiny tiger.

David,

Yes. Cats are [censored] terrors.

It's completely possible. I lived on a farm as a child and over the years had many cats. One in particular was a real rabbit hunter, and it was quite small. It would get hold of whatever rabbit it could catch, kill it, drag it somewhere, then eat the head. Only the head mind.

Sure, I've seen cats kill bigger animals, rabbbits included. What was the size differential here?

Cats are hunters, not scavengers. It is likely you just saw a very badass cat.

Cats are a hunting animal. Once it set upon the rabbit, theres nothing the rabbit could really do to fight back. It would be hide, or hope the cat gets board and stops attacking him.

If the cat was big enough to drag the rabbit, it was big enough to kill it.
